As François puts it, Chrome is fast, but the Chrome team is faster. A new feature has been added to Chrome. External extensions, or extensions installed by other software will be disabled by default. Users will be alerted of any new extension added by third party software. The new extension will not be enabled without user’s permission.

This feature is now available on Chromium daily builds and will soon be graduating to Chrome!

This will save a lot of people from frustration for sure. If you do not know what I am talking about, take a look at the most popular topics on the Chrome help forum.
